  • Anthony Shadid, the Pulitzer-Prize winning New York Times foreign correspondent and Beirut bureau chief, died in Syria on Thursday of an apparent asthma attack. He was 43. Shadids final piece for the Times, published on Feb.
  • (YAHOO!)
  • Anyone who knew Anthony Shadid well can say these words: No one was as passionate about the work of foreign correspondence, and no one did it as well.
  • (New York Times)
  • The phone rang early on Easter Sunday morning in 2002. Charles Radin, the Boston Globe's Jerusalem bureau chief, told me the news: our reporter Anthony Shadid had just been shot in the shoulder while covering clashes in Ramallah in the West Bank.

  • My old colleague Bobby Ghosh remembers Anthony Shadid, who sadly passed yesterday, in Syria.
  • (Atlantic Online)
  • Like most of us, I knew Anthony Shadid primarily through his writing, which was more than reporting, more than a chronicle of trauma and pain. It held humanity accountable.
  • (Washington Post)
  • A tragedy for those who knew him – a huge loss for those who read his work and learned from him.
  • (ABC News)
  • I know how chefs feel about Ferran AdriĆ , musicians about Bruce Springsteen, economists about Amartya Sen. I felt that way about Anthony Shadid: total and utter awe.
